The United Nations condemned the killing of a French peacekeeper in Sarajevo on Friday as U.N. forces faced a series of attacks and harassment throughout Bosnia-Herzegovina.

French Premier Edouard Balladur demanded that the United Nations find and punish the killer of the soldier, who was shot in the neck while driving through the front-line suburb of Dobrinja early Friday. He died shortly afterward, a U.N. spokeswoman said. It was not clear who was responsible.

Two Pakistani peacekeepers were also slightly wounded when their convoy came under fire from Bosnian Serb positions near Ribnica, southeast of Tuzla, a U.N. spokesman said.

Elsewhere, Serbs expelled more than 100 Muslims from the northeastern city of Bijeljina over the past two days, said recent arrivals in Tuzla. An elderly man died of exhaustion as the refugees were forced to walk through snow and across front lines, said a Red Cross spokeswoman.
